Definitions
- the present invention is concerned with topical immunotherapy and compositions suitable for use therein.
- Topical immunotherapy can be used to describe topical treatment with an agent having immunomodulatory properties.
- topical formulations including agents with direct immunosuppressive actions have been tested in diseases believed to have an i munological basis, especially atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.
- topical immunosuppressive agents have included tacrolimus and structurally related asomycin derivatives.
- Tacrolimus is a hydrophobic macrolide immunosuppressant produced by Streptomyces tsukubaensis No. 9993.
- Tacrolimus 17-allyl-l,14-dihydroxy-12-[2-(4- hydroxy-3-methoxycyclohexyl)- 1 -methylvinyl]-23,25-dimethoxy- 13, 19,21 ,27-tetramethyl- ll,28-dioxa-4-azatricyclo[22.3.1.0 4 ' 9 ]octacos-18-ene-2,3,10,16-tetraone, which is also known as FK-506 or FR-900506, has the following structural formula:
- Tacrolimus inhibits T-lymphocyte activation by first binding to an intracellular protein, FKBP-12. A complex of tacrolimus-FKBP-12, calcium, cadmodulin and calcineurin is then formed and the phosphatase activity of calcineurin is inhibited. The effect has been shown to prevent the dephosphorylation and translocation of nuclear factor of activated T- cells (NF-AT), a nuclear component thought to initiate gene transcription for the formation of lymphokines (such as interleukin-2, gamma interferon). Tacrolimus also inhibits the transcription for genes which encode IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, GM-CSF and TNF- alpha, all of which are involved in the early stages of T-cell activation. Tacrolimus inhibits proliferation and selective cytokine expression in antigen stimulated T cells in culture and also inhibits B cell proliferation at similar concentrations. Immunosuppression with tacrolimus in humans prevents allo graft rejection.
- NF-AT nuclear factor of
- tacrolimus inhibits T-lymphocyte activation, having a direct effect on T-lymphocytes so as to inhibit IL-2 transcription, which decreases responsiveness of T- lymphocytes to foreign antigens.
- the action of tacrolimus on atopic dermatitis may be related to alteration of antigen presenting cells, suppression of IL-2 and co-stimulatory molecule expression, impairment of phenotypic and functional differentiation of epidermal Langerhans' cells and suppression of Thl and Th2 cytokine induction in lymph node cells.
- the effect of tacrolimus on pruritis may be related to inhibition of histamine release from skin mast cells and impairment of de novo mast cell prostaglandin D2 synthesis along with diminished release of histamine from basophiles.
- Tacrolimus is also reported as being used in the treatment of rejection in transplantation and autoimmune diseases, and is routinely used in transplantation of for example, the kidney, liver or heart.
- Tacrolimus is available in both intravenous and oral formulation for the prevention of organ rejection after allogeneic liver or kidney transplantation.
- Oral tacrolimus has been found to be useful in the treatment of psoriasis, but potentially serious side effects, such as nephrotoxicity and hypertension, has limited its use for dermatologic indications by this route of administration.
- Topical formulations (ointments) have been extensively studied and reported to show positive effects in treatment of inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.
- Tacrolimus administered topically (as an ointment) has been reported to be safe and effective in the treatment of skin diseases. It has been further reported that in patients with atopic dermatitis, tacrolimus does not alter collagen synthesis and is not atrophogenic.
- EP 1092429 discusses pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating immune response associated disorders.
- US Patent Applications 2002173516 and 2002013340 describe pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating immune response associated diseases of the surface and anterior segment of the eye.

- an immunosuppressant such as tacrolimus
- dermatophytosis may be useful for the treatment of dermatophytosis and related disorders.
- Dermatophytoses are infectious diseases caused by a group of keratinophilic, parasitic fungi known as "dermatophytes". Dermatophyte infection can affect various keratinous tissues, such as the hair and stratum corneum of the skin causing areas of hair loss, scaliness and cutaneous and nail infection, including onychomycosis and various forms of tinea, epidermomycosis or epidermephytosis.
- Nails function primarily to protect the tender fingertip and to facilitate manipulation of small items thereby.
- Nail adornment preparations generally aim to protect and maintain the nail structure from microbial exposure that can lead to nail infection and disease.
- Common adornment preparations available in the market for fingernails and toenails can include nail enamel, nail hardener, nail enamel remover, cuticle remover, nail white, nail bleach, nail polish dryer, nail buffering cream, nail moisturizer and other nail treatment products. Of the above preparations, nail enamel, nail hardener, nail enamel remover, cuticle remover, nail white, nail buffering cream and nail moisturizer, are more commonly used.
- Nail enamel prevents contact of detergents with the nail, acting as a protectant. Furthermore, nail enamel can decrease nail water vapor loss from about 1.6 mg/cm 2 /h to 0.4 mg/cm 2 /h, which can enhance moisturization and flexibility. Nail hardeners are used to increase the strength of brittle nails caused by nail plate dehydration, often resulting from excessive contact with solvents, detergents and water.
- Nail polish removers are liquids designed to strip the nail polish from the nail plate, and often include strong solvents and conditioning substances. These substances are thought to act as occlusive nail moisturizers retarding water evaporation.
- Nail moisturizers are valuable in patients with dry, brittle, fissured and / or splitting nails.
- the healthy nail contains about 16% water, becoming soft with saturation at 30%.
- the water content of nail keratin is proportional to the relative humidity, being 7% at 20% relative humidity and 30% at 100% relative humidity.
- Nail moisturizers are usually creams or lotions that contain occlusives which increase the water binding capacity of the nail plate.

- the treatment regime will be dependent on the patient, and severity of the dermatophyte infection being treated, and will generally be at the discretion of an attendant physician.
- a method of the present invention is particularly suitable for topical administration of at least one immunosuppressant substantially as hereinbefore described to a dermatophyte infected area of the nail.
- the topical administration is such that the applied immunosuppressant can substantially arrest dermatophyte invasion of, or growth on, susceptible nail tissue.
- an immunosuppressant suitable for use according to the present mvention is included in a composition which can persist on the dermatophyte infected nail tissue after repeated washing.
- a method according to the present invention can also have prophylactic use, and in accordance with this aspect of treatment according to the present invention an immunosuppressant can be applied to a healthy nail, particularly if adjacent nails exhibit dermatophyte infection.
- an immunosuppressant to an area of nail tissue exhibiting dermatophyte infection, or susceptible to dermatophyte infection can be by application to the nail in a variety of ways, for example by painting the nail, through use of a dropper, and the like.
- the immunosuppressant is applied in the form of a nail lacquer composition that can be applied as a plurality of layers onto the nail plate, typically in 2 to 3 coats.
